Lose display after 5 seconds of POSTing?

[exe163]

Does it turn off after 5 seconds? Or just go blank?

It goes blank and doesnt turn off with CMOS error on debug screen.

Normally your gpus scream if they don't have the additional power. Systems turns itself off after a few seconds.

To leak test in the future, jump start your psu [paper clip green to black] and disconnect all non wc parts.

I don't see any abnormality from the GPU, and I used an external PSU for leak test with the same paper clip trick to make sure the I don't accidentally do anything stupid and toast my rig.


I tried unplugging my HDDs, sound card, temp senor. None seems to effect the booting, which means it still goes blank after the bios screen animation (ROG logo) played half way.

I tried going into the BIOS, no help either. The screen goes blanks as the system is checking itself.

One thing I did not try is clearing CMOS. I have no experience with this and I have a RAID 0 and RAID 1 drives running off the mobo RAID chip, I do not want to lose all my data when if I do something that I am not suppose to.
